Stormwater Management:
Need of the Hour Stormwater
management involves the usage of tools and equipment to reduce the negative
impacts from stormwater runoff, occurring due to the overflow of precipitation
from rain or snowmelt over the land surface. The world is showcasing extensive
adoption of stormwater management tools to control irregular floods, prevent
soil erosion and improvise overall water quality. The rising urbanization, more
frequent and increasingly intense rainfall events, continued ageing of combined
collection systems and formulation of stringent legislative rules are
cumulatively driving the application of efficient stormwater management
practices. During 2017, natural calamities such as Hurricane Irma,
Hurricane Harvey, Hurricane Maria witnessed by US and Mexico are further
highlighting the need to address the importance of stormwater management across
the globe. As a result, Global Stormwater Management market is
poised to grow at a healthy rate over the coming years.

Regulatory Drivers and Pouring Investments:
The growing realization of benefits and
applications of stormwater management such as protection of human health,
reduction in water pollution levels, increasing utilization and reuse of
rainwater for agricultural and residential purposes, lesser infrastructural
damages to property and incremental beauty of urban landscape due to greener
spaces & recreational areas are encouraging the government to implement
regulatory parameters for stormwater management. As of 2016, the total spending
on green infrastructure by government agencies, water utilities, private
companies and other communities amounts to more than USD25 Billion,
wherein transactions grew at an average of 11.8% per year over the past 5
years. Several federal and local regulations have been formulated by
nations, for instance:

the U.S.
China: The ultimate goal of sponge city initiative launched by
the Government of China is that 80% of urban areas should absorb and re-use at
least 70% of rainwater by 2020, which is expected to boost the adoption of
stormwater management practices across the country through 2026.
India: In 2017, India and the United Kingdom announced the
launch of a Green Growth Equity Fund which is aimed to develop and leverage
private sector investment from the City of London for green infrastructure
projects in India.
Europe: European Commission Launches Green Infrastructure Strategy throughout the
European Union (EU) as an extension to existing European Union’s Resource Efficiency
Roadmap and the European Union Biodiversity Strategy to 2020.
- Popular Trends in Global Stormwater Management Market:
- Green-Gray Infrastructure Hybrids
- Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
Conclusion: Global Stormwater Management market stood at
more than USD3 Billion during 2016 and is expected to witness significant
growth during the forecast period. Apart from traditional Best Management
Practices (BMPs), the emerging innovative products including hydrodynamic
separators, storm filters, etc. are witnessing enormous demand, subsequently
escalating the Global Stormwater Management market. Moreover, the favorable
regulations imposed by government agencies across the world, such as Municipal
Separate Storm Sewer Systems (MS4) Program and Stormwater Pollution Prevention
Plan (SPPP) by US EPA, The European Water Framework Directive (WFD), Australian
Local Government (Stormwater) Act and many more would upsurge the demand for
stormwater management globally. Additionally, the increasing CSR activities by
private organization is compelling developing as well as developed nations such
as US, China, Australia, New Zealand, etc. to adopt market based stormwater
management at a broader scale, consequently driving the market over the coming
years.
